It is refreshing when two parties at the top of their respective crafts come together for special project. Once again Australian sneaker customizer Sekure D was commissioned by fellow Aussie Illusionist Cosentino to create a 1 of a kind pair of custom kicks. After a recent collaboration with the playing card company Bicycle, Cosentino wanted something to represent the look of a deck of cards on a sneaker.
Any chance to see and hear an artist with a portfolio of great artwork only makes the reason to follow their name more appealing. While on tour for the first time in the US last year, Australia’s Sekure D was snagged down by Albotas.com. All 9 minutes give great insight to Sekure D’s story of customizing sneakers, adding vinyl toys to his repertoire, his inspiration, creative process and what the future may hold for his brand.
Sekure D has a painting style that is unmistakable. His latest creation, a pair of Nike Dunk Highs, was created for a DJ in Dubai named Mister Outlaw with the request that the pair had a “graffiti feel but was still classy and clean.” The result is this subdued color palette (compared to Sekure D’s previous work) of black, white, and grey tones, with pops of gold on the swooshes, mid-panels, and heels.
